The Los Angeles wildfire has been spreading for a week, with winds of 113 km/h predicted.

Fire personnel from across the United States and Mexico and Canada are fully prepared to face strong winds, but further damage is feared.

It's the Palisades area of Los Angeles, where wildfires started last week.

There was nothing left in the mountain range, which was all devastated with gray, so hard to find the end in the sky.

After a week of fire fighting, the firefighters are regrouping without time to breathe.The crisis struck again as the U.S. Bureau of Meteorology
forecast strong winds reaching 113 km/h by the day of the 15th local time, with a fire red warning for LA and Ventura counties.

As the sound of the wind gradually strengthens, they are struggling to protect the cordon by stepping on the embers with their feet.

Fire crews and wildfire-fighting aircraft from Mexico and Canada, as well as across the United States, have been deployed, and more than 1,800 California National Guard troops have also been deployed.

Although not as intense as last week's 160km/h, as Santa Ana winds strengthen at night, the morning and night of the 14th local time are expected to be the biggest crisis in the spread of wildfires in LA.

The Palisades and Eaton wildfires, which began on the 7th, have burned more than 34 times the size of Yeouido and more than 12,000 buildings, but the suppression rate is still low.

The Hurst wildfire and the other two wildfires in the north have all but been extinguished, but there is concern about further damage to the already worst L.A. wildfire, with 89,000 people again warned of evacuation preparations due to strong winds.
